Another story from back when they were new.
We used to know a guy who was what we call here a BS Artist - y'know, the Jag was in the shop getting a new engine, and he'd turn up in his ''brother's'' Morris Minor. Anyway, we had a 6 hour production bike race...and one day he turns up on an old CB350, because he was racing his CBX in the 6hr, and on the last lap the oil light came on....he was in the lead and tried to push to the end, but it seized with a couple of corners to go.
A couple of weeks later I'm in a local bike shop, and one of the mechanics has a CBX engine on the bench. I asked what happened to it - ''Ran out of oil on the last lap of the 6hr.'' I asked who the rider was - yeah, guess who ?
